Unbalanced emotions suddenly emerged, and Lu Yingjiao's beautiful face twisted. Qin Ying, Su Qingyun, who are these mother and daughter? What's the relationship with her father? Only then could her father put so much effort into thinking about them.
The more Lu Ying thought about it, the angrier she became. She stopped asking her father to eat, turned around and went downstairs.
"What's wrong?" Chen Lizhen looked at her angry daughter strangely. Who messed with her so early in the morning?
"Nothing!" Lu Ying took a bite of the fried dough sticks fiercely, still thinking about the identities of the two people.
"Mom, do you know someone named Qin Ying? There is also someone named Su Qingyun." She asked casually.
"Bang!" Almost instantly, the spoon in Chen Lizhen's hand fell to the ground.
Chen Lizhen's mind went blank. She looked shocked and panicked, "What are you asking this person for? Did your father tell you something?"
"Why are you so excited?" Lu Ying looked at her strangely, "My dad didn't say anything, forget it, I won't understand even if I tell you."
"I'm not going to eat. I'm leaving now." She drank the soy milk in a few gulps and went out.
Chen Lizhen sat alone at the dining table, lost in thought for a long time.
Why did my daughter suddenly mention Qin Ying's name? Could it be that she is back?
After Su Qingyun and the other two had dinner yesterday, the Wu family enthusiastically asked them to stay overnight. They really couldn't refuse, so they could only stay for one night and left the family home after breakfast early in the morning.
Now that they are all here, they must take a good look everywhere. Anyway, there is still one day left. The three of them walked around the huge capital. They followed Qin Ying's memory and went to many places.
There are schools where she grew up, as well as parks, movie theaters and other places she often goes to.
At noon, the three of them found a delicious roast duck restaurant. It was the right time to eat. There were many guests coming and going, and some foreign faces could be seen vaguely.
Qin Ying said while looking at the menu: "Most of the foreigners who come here to eat are foreign guests from our country. This is enough to show how good the roast duck in this restaurant is."
Su Qingyun looked at the entrance of this store curiously. This store was a century-old brand. It was not like she had never eaten in this store in later generations. The decoration at that time had become grand and luxurious, but now it is still simple and simple. It means mostly.
Ji Yue's eyes were also a little dazed. When he was still in the capital, his father loved to eat the roast duck of this restaurant. When the family went out to eat out, this restaurant was the place they frequented most.
"Let's order a roast duck, a braised fish nugget, a mushroom and bamboo shoot slices, and then each of us will have a bowl of duck bone soup." Qin Ying quickly ordered the dishes, "It's a rare occasion, so the three of us will eat more today. .”
Su Qingyun glanced at the prices on the menu. A roast duck was eight yuan, braised fish cubes were one and a half yuan, the vegetarian mushroom and bamboo shoot slices were a little more expensive, two yuan and a cent, and a bowl of duck soup was four cents.
In other words, their total meal cost almost thirteen yuan. Prices in the capital were high, and this price was unimaginable in Luoshui Village. A meal cost less than half a month's salary of a worker.
However, when Qin Ying came, Su Aimin forced her to give her a lot of money, which was enough for them.
While waiting, Qin Ying leisurely told her daughter how to cook the roast duck, "The roast ducks in this store are all roasted in a hanging oven. After the duck is plucked and its internal organs removed, the roast duck master will coat the outside with a layer of roasted sugar. Then we use fragrant fruit wood such as peach and jujube trees and bake it over an open fire for about forty or fifty minutes."
"The roasted duck will be brought to us whole. After we have seen it, the roast duck will be cut into slices in front of us. One roast duck will be divided into 108 slices. The remaining duck skeleton is used to make duck soup. material.”
In the past, the conditions at home were good, and Qin Ying loved to eat, so she was very familiar with these things.
Although they were all things she knew, Su Qingyun still nodded politely while listening. After all, her current status was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, knowing nothing and being curious about everything.
Just as Qin Ying was talking, the roast duck master had already served the roast duck to the table.
"If everything looks OK, I'll start slicing the roast duck." The master said.
All three nodded.
The chef took out a sharp duck-slicing knife and began to slice the roast duck into thin slices quickly and evenly. The whole process was smooth and skillful, which was a feast for the eyes.
After the whole roast duck was finished, the roast duck master left the scene.
The roast duck slices are served on a porcelain white plate. They are bright in color and show an attractive maroon red color. The aroma will make you want to eat.
Qin Ying pointed to the things on the table and showed Su Qingyun how to eat roast duck, "Like this, dip the duck meat and shredded green onions into the sauce, and then wrap it with sesame pancakes and dough to eat together."
"Try it and see how it tastes?" Qin Ying gave the first wrapped roast duck to Su Qingyun.
Su Qingyun took it, stuffed it into his mouth, and savored it carefully. Needless to say, the taste of roast duck in later generations is still different from that of today. The duck meat is crispy on the skin, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It has a mellow taste, fat but not greasy.
"It's delicious." Su Qingyun praised it generously.
Qin Ying handed another one to Ji Yue, "Ah Yue will take one too."
"Thank you Aunt Qin."
After giving it to two children, Qin Yingcai started to wrap one for herself. She slowly put it into her mouth to see if the taste in her memory had changed.
"It hasn't changed, it still tastes the same." It was just a mouthful of duck meat, and Qin Ying actually had tears in her eyes.
From yesterday to now, she has seen too many changes. Familiar places have been demolished, familiar routes have changed, and familiar people have aged. But the taste of this bite of duck meat has not changed in so many years.
This made her feel that the past twenty years had just passed by in a blink of an eye, and she was still the young female student sitting in a roast duck restaurant with her friends chattering.
Qin Ying's mood was ups and downs, but she didn't want the two children to notice her strangeness, so she hurriedly lowered her head and took another bite to hide her emotions.
The next two dishes were also delicious, and the duck soup was extremely delicious. One sip made my whole pores feel comfortable.
Qin Ying ordered a large amount of food, and the three of them were full. After eating, they walked nearby to eat, and returned to the Youth Culture Palace at about four o'clock in the afternoon.
Before reaching the dormitory, Su Qingyun heard a roar from behind.
"Qingyun!"
She turned around and saw Li Xiaoxiao and the others who had just come back from outside. They were still carrying things in their hands. They were transparent plastic bags filled with brightly colored hairpins and the like.
"Did you go shopping in the department store?" Su Qingyun asked with a smile.
"Yes." Li Xiaoxiao looked excited, "As expected of the capital, the department store is the biggest. There are so many things that I can't see. Do you think these we bought are good-looking?"
"nice."
"If I didn't have enough money, I would have bought more." Li Xiaoxiao looked regretful.
Zhang Xiaofang also said: "There are too many good things, but there is no money, but this is my fault, not theirs."
This sad and angry tone made Su Qingyun laugh.
"We also went to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. The Forbidden City is so majestic, but climbing the Great Wall was too tiring, so we couldn't even go up."
"It's just that I'm too tired. Although I can't say that the Great Wall is not a hero, we are women, not heroes, hahaha."
The girls were not in a hurry to go back to the dormitory, so they chatted in the corridor. There were many contestants in the past, and it was rare that the four girls were all familiar with each other, so they attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Hey, Aying, look at that girl over there." In a dormitory next to it, all contestants from the Beijing No. 1 Middle School team lived. Two girls came out together and saw Su Qingyun and the others. One of them had a strange expression. .
"That's the girl in the ruffle-collared shirt, do you see it?"
"What's wrong?" Lu Ying glanced over casually.
"That girl looks just like you." People around her exclaimed.
Lu Ying's expression changed, and she looked over seriously in an instant. The four girls in the corridor were all good-looking, but the most eye-catching one was the girl in the middle wearing a white lotus leaf collared shirt. She had an outstanding temperament and a figure. Slender, with porcelain-white complexion, and a smile that makes people feel like spring breeze.
But her face...
After seeing her appearance clearly, Lu Ying was shocked and her mind went blank. How could she look so similar? That girl's eyebrows are at least 30% similar to hers. What's going on?
"Qingyun, Xiaofang, Xiaoxia, let's go back to the dormitory." Li whispered into Lu Ying's ears.
Qingyun? Lu Ying was suddenly stunned, which Qingyun? She remembered the name she heard outside her father's study in the morning, Su Qingyun, could it be her?
"Su Qingyun?" Seeing the person walking away, Lu Ying couldn't help but murmured.
"Is that Su Qingyun?" The girl next to her suddenly widened her eyes with surprise on her face.
Lu Ying came back to her senses, looked at her, frowned and said, "Do you know her?"
"I know her, but I don't know her either," the girl said. "I only know her name, but I don't know what she looks like."
"What's the meaning?"
"Su Qingyun is the girl from the group of very powerful contestants from Province S that Teacher Zhao said. Aying, didn't you listen at the time?" The girl said with admiration in her eyes.
Seeing that Lu Ying's expression was not good, she quickly added, "However, you are usually busy, so it is normal for you not to notice these things."
Everyone in their team knows that the reason why Lu Ying joined the team is because Wu Jiayan is there. Except for Wu Jiayan, she doesn't care about the rest. She didn't even contribute much to their team's works, but who asked her to Her family conditions were good, and she could get experimental materials that others couldn't get by just talking, so they could only support her like a eldest lady.
"Is she great?"
"It's... not bad." The girl hesitated, "But we are confident that we will not be worse than others."
Lu Ying sneered, "You come from a small place, but you dare to compete with us?"
It turns out that this is the person her father asked to take care of, and she will definitely "take good care of" her.
